Luke vs. Roger

Last night (1/2):

I was at some sort of minor party and an old co-worker of mine from Disney was there, Roger. This guy is about 10 years older than me, tall, slender, and we were always friendly to each other (in real life). For some reason we got into a bet as to who would win a fight between us, even though he is like two weight classes above me. We bet $400 and then got to it in the living room at the party.

It went to the ground almost immediately and I managed to get full mount quickly and easily. It was obvious that Roger did not even know the basics of MMA. He tried to use his height and weight advantage to throw me off over his head, but I managed to work my legs right and shift my weight well enough to stay on. After I rained down some punches from this position, I started delivering some elbows to his forehead. They were cutting him open fairly easily, though the cuts were very small. Then I gave him some more punches to the cut area. The fight stopped for some reason and we were standing again. Roger's forehead wasn't really bleeding but instead looked like it had a huge cut-up bruise on it. When the fight resumed I was throwing some punches at him and he was obviously done with the fight, but still sort of staying in it, like when Kimbo got beat by the cop. It was soon finished and I had won the bet.

A couple days later, a bunch of people including Roger and me (pun intended) were going on a sort of field trip somewhere, and I was demanding my $400 from him. He didn't want to give it to me but finally gave it up, handing me a roll off cash with a dollar wrapped around the outside. I opened it up and it turned out to not be cash at all, but a couple dollars on the outside and a ton of coupons on the inside, adding up to $400 worth of "value". There were some pretty good coupons, like $100 free at Target, $100 free at Best Buy, etc, but I wasn't having it. I told Roger that he'd better get me $400 in real cash or he'd endure a repeat of the fight. LOL.

Haha, trying to work the stoppage like Florian or Loiseau with their lethal elbows.
